Jaysus And think how bad air travel will have been for comfort and entertainment in comparison to today. It took a special kind of person to become NWA champion talent-wise but it took a superhuman to work the schedule. I remember Terry Funk saying one year was enough for him as he'd seen what Dory Jr had had to go through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all started because of the Wrestling Channel showing NOAH in 2004, then Misawa and Ogawa made a random excursion and wrestled on a Wrestling Channel promoted card in Coventry of all places and couldn't believe how well known they were. Then this happened years later 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Man, I thought I'd be used to stuff like this now, but it still takes me a few minutes to comprehend that guys like Ricochet and War Machine are indeed now with WWE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the UK scene being in a pretty good place for a few years now I still find this all quite surreal. Growing up in the '90s, post WoS but pre-FWA & Alex Shane having a radio show & that minor indy explosion, going to a wrestling show basically meant getting to see fake Undertaker (and it certainly wasn't Brian Lee) against fake Doink. Granted, 20 years is a long time but it's so impressive how big wrestling is here, or specifically indy wrestling. Especially with the only wrestling on free-to-air TV being Impact. It's people going to watch stuff live. And it's everywhere. Obviously London is the centre for a lot of stuff, but even in the '00s stuff like FWA & IPW:UK were all England based. Now Glasgow has got ICW but more than that there are groups running in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, & Inverness, & presumably Wales has stuff to see now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 My thoughts exactly. We're 15 years past the boom period, so for the UK scene to be where its at with little-to-no exposure is astounding. While Alex Shane, Doug Williams and FWA certainly laid the foundations I do think the old Wrestling Channel on Sky was the spark that ignited all of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
